Meet Your Hosts
Kriss + Michelle met at a wellness and music festival in Mattawa. A mutual appreciation for their crafts quickly began, followed by a growing friendship.
Over the last 3 years their bond naturally progressed as the two continued to cross paths. This has led them here as they team up to host their own HEAL + BE FREE Wellness Weekend—back on the beautiful lands of Mattawa.
